can't emerge mozilla? odd, this.

root@localhost foo # emerge mozilla
Calculating dependencies |
!!! Error: couldn't find match for : in net-www/mozilla-1.0-r3

haven't had problems emerging anything else, and I just set this system up as of yesterday.

Running great otherwise though, I'd just far prefer mozilla over konqueror, and I'd rather use the ebuilds than do it from mozilla's source. might as well keep the packages happy, I guess.

Any insight as to why it's doing that?

Try doing an emerge rsync and then try to emerge mozilla again.

cd /usr/portage/net-www/mozilla

emerge a specific ebuild.

I had the same problem (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=7389&highlight=), you need to update your portage.

update portage then unmask mozilla 1.1b in usr/portage/profiles/package.mask by commenting it out...then run emerge mozilla....1.1b has been completely stable and seems much faster then 1.0-r3
